Description State of Emergency is an urban riot game set in the near future, where the oppressive American Trade Organization (ATO) has declared a State of Emergency. State authorities are clamping down on organized resistance and restricting movement across the City to counter the spread of revolt. It is up to you to smash up everything and everyone in order to destabilize the ATO. Use any item available to begin fighting, including pipes, bricks and benches - even dismembered body parts. This is the first game ever to let you participate in relentless street combat with over 100 people on screen at once! State of Emergency is a game for those who have always wondered what it's like to be armed and dangerous in a city gone out of control.
Summary: I played this game after beating GTA:Vice City. I thought to myself, "Hey, it's a Rockstar game, how bad could it possibly be?" Unfortunately, I got my answer pretty quickly. This game does not compare at all with the GTA series. It's closer to the three-dollar Eidos gem, Urban Chaos. With emphasis on the chaos part. It takes place in the middle of a riot situation, so there are scores of NPC's running around on any screen you're at. I found this game mind-numbing, headache-inducing, vision-blurring, and in the end, a big waste of my time after the first hour. The only good reason to play the game is to beat on people and that is where the satisfaction factor ends.
Summary: This game is fun,for 20 minutes,after a while the game gets mad boring. Maybe if they would of made it able for you to get into cars and run over people it would of been much funner.I mean for 6 bucks you cant complain,so I think thats what made it a little enjoyable.
Summary: I would rent this game because the game has only 4 levels in it which means this game shouldnt take long to beat and once you beat it you'll get sick and tired of it.
Summary: In a word, boring. I was really looking forward to this being on the same level of GTA3, but I was very disappointed. I bought it without testing it first, and it was a total waste of $50. If you see it for $5, it might be worth it to pick it up as a novelty. You'll probably have a good time with it for about 3 hours, then put it on the shelf for a year to gather dust.
This game will appeal to the dim-witted who are impressed by bright colors and loud sounds, but if you're looking for some interesting story lines along with your violence, look somewhere else.
In summary, you should rent it, see what it's about about, then move on.
Summary: The first game from the anarchist/leftist perspective, soe is as fun as as it is frustrating, but even the frustrating parts merely suggest great improvement possible in any forthcoming sequel. The game is divided into 2 modes "chaos" and "revolution". "revolution" quickly becomes pointless through repetitive and increasingly difficult missions, although the thought of helping revolutionaries blow up a mall does have appeal to some of us lefties. "Chaos" mode is worth the price of the game however, as many hours of bloody anti-corporate mayhem are to be had, ala-crazy taxi-style, keep the clock running gameplay. Many are complaining that soe is not gta - but that is an apples/oranges arguement, as in reality what soe truly is - is a 3-d update of robotron 2084 and other arcade-style fighting/shoot-em-up classics. How you feel about this game may also depend on your political views on globalisation/corperatisation of modern society- (issues that will sadly go right over the heads of 95% of players.) It also helps if you enjoy the thought of firing rocket-launchers at Starbucks or Macdonalds. this limited, flawed game suggests some great future elaborations of this urban guerrilla war concept. Hats off to the creators for a thought-provoking(for some), gleefully violent(for everyone else) game.
